The term "self-condemned" refers to an individual who, through their own actions or words, brings judgment upon themselves. This concept is rooted in the biblical understanding of personal responsibility and accountability before God and others. The idea is that one's behavior or speech can reveal a heart that is not aligned with God's will, leading to self-imposed judgment.

Biblical References:

1. Titus 3:10-11 : "Reject a divisive man after a first and second admonition, knowing that such a man is corrupt and sinful; he is self-condemned." In this passage, the Apostle Paul instructs Titus on how to deal with individuals who cause division within the church. The term "self-condemned" is used to describe someone who, after being warned multiple times, continues in their divisive behavior. Their actions demonstrate a willful rejection of correction, thus condemning themselves.

2. Matthew 12:37 : "For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." Jesus emphasizes the power of words and how they reflect the condition of the heart. A person who speaks carelessly or maliciously may find themselves self-condemned, as their words reveal their true character and intentions.

3. Romans 2:1 : "Therefore, you have no excuse, O man, whoever you are, when you judge others; for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things." Paul addresses the hypocrisy of judging others while committing similar sins. Such behavior results in self-condemnation, as it exposes one's own guilt and lack of integrity.

Theological Implications:

The concept of being self-condemned underscores the importance of self-examination and humility. It serves as a warning against hypocrisy, divisiveness, and unrepentant sin. In the Christian life, believers are called to live in accordance with the teachings of Christ, demonstrating love, unity, and integrity. When individuals fail to heed correction and persist in sinful behavior, they risk being self-condemned, as their actions testify against them.

Practical Application:

1. Self-Examination: Believers are encouraged to regularly examine their own lives in light of Scripture, seeking to align their actions and words with God's will. This practice helps prevent self-condemnation by fostering a spirit of repentance and growth.

2. Heeding Correction: When confronted with admonition or correction, it is vital to respond with humility and a willingness to change. Ignoring such guidance can lead to a hardened heart and self-condemnation.

3. Guarding Speech: Recognizing the power of words, Christians are called to speak truthfully and lovingly, avoiding gossip, slander, and divisive language. By doing so, they protect themselves from self-condemnation and promote peace within the community.

In summary, the concept of being self-condemned serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of unrepentant sin and the importance of living a life that reflects the character of Christ.843. autokatakritos -- self-condemned
